I spend about twenty minutes in Blighttown in total. Enter via the backdoor (matron!), light the bonfire and head to the boss. Maybe try for the firekeeper soul on the way out. Everything else down there can do one.

I like those fatties there. Nice mini bosses when you're low level.

Thinking about it I haven't been grinding but I have been learning slowly. Going dex based and rarely using the Drake Sword but instead the Balder Side Sword meant I've avoided being too overpowered.

Capra Demon down, obviously lost those 7k souls but did well out of it... Picked up some free humanity on the final run.

Failed to get the tail though.

I have an understanding that somewhere close is an ember.

Obviously I want to go to plus ten with the BSS and shield. How should I find the materials? Can I just give it to the blacksmith at the parish... And should I be worrying about divinely upgrading a weapon?

Wtf is this? I started a new character and started to grind for some Titanite Shards in the Parish and now I've got five balder side swords. I've been using 10 humanity to get more items but this is absurd. I only needed one.

After that I decided to try to get a Murakumo and got one from the second Giant Skeleton...

dont quit bear just rethink your tactics maybe farm a couple of levels, what kind of poise are taking into that fight? if your not proficient with dodging poise can be vital! pyromancy also helps, just stick at it and you will defeat them.

I use loads of pyromancy, I can kill one and then get ganged up on my threee and get my arse handed to me, I'm already level 90 something

ye killing them quickly is the key so you can fight them one on one, i know what you mean though especially on your own its difficult. did you summon witch beatrice for the moonlight butterfly fight? because if you did you can summon her for the four kings fight and shes quite handy with her sorcery!

i usually tank them heavy armour high poise grass crest on my back and two hand my weapon currently gargoyles halberd and get right underneath them and circle them getting a couple of hits in here and there but make sure you back off when they go for there aoe attack.

It's a matter of taking them down quickly, preferably while two-handing something. I wouldn't have kept the gargoyles halberd for as long as you have, but whatever works for you. There are videos of people taking them down naked with their bare hands, so yeah.
